To anyone who doesn't understand .... a lot of that in the comments below. I will quote myself.

"Do you actually understand what a sonic boom is and how it is generated?
For example did you realize that a sonic boom followed the route of the Concorde while it was supersonic, anyone in the path of the Concorde would hear a sonic boom as it flew overhead all the way across the Atlantic ocean. You have to be making a noise to create a sonic boom. And you have to be supersonic for that duration. The Falcon booster is supersonic during it's re-entry burn AND making a noise in the upper atmosphere. That sonic boom arrives after the booster has started the landing burn. The simple igniter system does not create that noise. Watch a few static fire tests and let me know if that igniter makes that noise.
Please remember that the sonic boom travels at the speed of sound, and will always arrive after the creation of it.
Cheers"

1:37 "Two down! Beautiful landing". Great shot of the landing and, for history buffs, in the foreground is the historic Launch Complex 34.

Unassisted fall from above the atmosphere, not dropped out of a plane. After the initial entry burn at the top of the atmosphere a first stage is slowed to roughly 1650 m/ps. The drag on entry burns off a considerable amount of that speed but it only drops below 343 m/ps (sub sonic) when the final landing burn starts. Until that point it's still traveling at over 500m/ps. These are easily verifiable numbers. Just because you don't believe it possible doesn't make it so.
